Dr. Ritch welcomes back Dr. Megan Melo, a board-certified family medicine and obesity medicine specialist. Dr. Melo shares her expertise on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, the nuances of microdosing, the role of metformin, and how to approach weight management safely with the guidance of a knowledgeable clinician.
